After teasing him at the end of the first film, it is a relief that Mortal Kombat 2 seems to be getting the most important thing about Johnny Cage right. 2021’s Mortal Kombat was an unpredictable movie, as it was centered on a new character, Cole Young, rather than the franchise’s usual protagonist, Liu Kang. 2021’s Mortal Kombat largely deviated from the traditional stories told in Mortal Kombat video games. Instead of focusing on a Mortal Kombat tournament, the film instead followed Cole and his allies as they unlocked their arcanas, which gave them powers.
Even though the 2021 film made a lot of changes, it still featured many of the most popular Mortal Kombat characters. Characters like Sonya Blade, Jax, Raiden, and Liu Kang all worked with Cole Young throughout the film. Additionally, other characters, such as Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Shang Tsung, and Goro, were also included in the film. However, the 2021 movie shockingly didn’t include Johnny Cage, one of the best Mortal Kombat characters. Thankfully, this will be remedied in the upcoming Mortal Kombat 2, as Johnny Cage will likely play a prominent role in the sequel.
